Adityawarman was a prominent Javanese prince and ruler who reigned in the Majapahit Empire during the 14th century. He is known for his significant role in the political and cultural landscape of the time. Adityawarman was a descendant of the Sailendra dynasty, a powerful royal line that had previously ruled the Mataram Kingdom.
